Depends the size of the 'huge' harddrive. They need to be smaller than the desktop versions, for obvious reasons.

I'm sure he means huge as in like 500GB :p. Not actual size of the HD.

But yeah, harddrives in laptops can be upgraded :). My dad upgraded from a 20gb to a 60gb.

Just in case you don't know how big [mass] a lappy hdd is, just poke around for the 2.5" ones. 3.5" are the desktop ones, and 5.25"? they're optical drives :P
